I don't know why Newegg or even the manufacturer's page doesn't mentionthat this model also has GPS.I got the same device from NE in Dec. and have absolutely zero regrets.

The only minor negatives I have to offer are:1. OTG/USB Host is not fully implemented and although it will recognizea USB mouse/keyboard dongle, it will not recognize a flash drive or aportable HD.2. It is the worst fingerprint magnet I've ever seen.

IMO a very good buy for the money and a cheap fun device to play with.

BTW if anyone wants to root this device after the warranty period LMKI will supply links.†

I thought I'dtried SM before but maybe be cause the FD or HD show up as a folder on theinternal SD card I just missed seeing the message to that effect.

Now if you could suggest a fix for the fingerprint problem I'd be a very happycamper.

Thanks AgainFMB1

This particular tablet is sold exclusively through WalMart (in the US). At least the new ones are. Its a copy of the original Nexus 7 with a few extra features (micro HDMI port for one) not the 2nd generation Nexus 7. I had one for a few weeks during Christmas. I liked everything about it except the screen size. I find 7 inch screens too small.

I bought one of these when the price dropped around Christmas. I like it better then my KF2, KF HD and Google Nexus 1st Gen. Wish it had more memory though. The one I received looked brand new.

Both flash drives and powered portable HDs now work with no added apps, just an OTG adapter.It will look like a Nexus 7 in settings and to playstore

I left mine laying on its back last night with 80% battery charge. Went to pick it up and use it just now, and it was HOT and will not power up. It was NOT even connected to a charger!

It was NOT even connected to a charger!Sounds like something it was running crashed, and the CPU pegged and drained the battery. My phones have done this before. Try removing and replacing the battery, then letting it charge back up.

I bought my daughter one of these last Nov/Dec. Around March she reported that it would not charge. Long story short, it seemed to be stuck in a state of high power usage. I don't remember if I had to disconnect the battery...perhaps. In the end, I had to root the device and flash it with a new ROM. I would recommend, if you have one of these, still running, to look into the rooting, backup, and flashing process. The most painful part for me, was learning that I had to load Android Debugging Bridge (ADB) on a 32-bit Windows machine, to get USB drivers to work with the device. At a minimum, enable developer mode on your device while you can, through the settings menu.

There have been some great deals on 32GB Nexus 7 refurbs lately. I would recommend those over the Sero Pro for most folks. The days I spent restoring my daughter's Sero Pro were not worth the savings. She has not had any complaints since I restored it though.
